Brighton boss Chris Hughton is chasing Bayer Leverkusen defender Aleksandar Dragovic.

The Sun says Brighton, however, will face competition from the likes of West Ham and Everton in the chase for £15m Bayer star Dragovic.

The 27-year-old Austria defender spent last season on-loan at Leicester.

It is thought the Foxes do not want to make the move permanent.

Dragovic is said to be keen on remaining in the English top flight after winning 63 caps for his country.
